2.5 offshore's vs 300x's
If looking at a 30 spectre which would you prefer and why ? 1997 Merc 2.5 Offshores with new powerheads, and sportsmaster lowers, or 2003 300x's.

97's are the old style motor "260" not even a comparison. No alternator lots of dead batteries. It would be a different story if you were talking about 280 2.5's with the alternators and mororola system.

Had Both almost, 99 ProMax and 99 2.5's. Boat rode flater with 2.5's but the Promax's used less fuel and only 5 mph slower. 20-20 hind site I should have stuck with the ProMax. IMO.

cowisl just changed 2.5's to 300's on his rig...
Those 2.5's have a narrow rpm band to have fun with if I recall.
